"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It doesn't really matter if you don't pass the exam."
I poked his forehead in an annoyed tone: "I'm about to take the college entrance exam, can't you say something nice?"
"I'm just saying nice things. Anyway, I'll be taking the college entrance exam in a few years, and I'll probably take over part of the family business after I get to university, so..."
He looked at me seriously and said, "Sis, you really don't need to work so hard. I'm enough for the family."
This time I didn't refute him.
You should never argue with someone who works hard for their family, no matter what.
"Okay, then the family will be relying on you from now on."
"No problem, I'll take care of you and Mom from now on, so you shouldn't have to wait too long."

Why do they draw blood from the neck during a physical exam? Is it really just for the exam?
Looking at his fair and sunny face, the feeling of worry made me a little frantic.
But no matter how I asked him, he always gave the same answer.
Shortly afterward, he got up and left.
As he got on the bus, it seemed like he had something he wanted to say to me, but it seemed like there wasn't enough time.
In the end, he just smiled at me.
The car door slowly closed, and the ray of sunlight disappeared with it.

I am 18 years old.
He is 14 years old.
